I didn't know she was planning on raising her prices by how much? Not a big issue I ordered the Shealoe Leave In and I am liking it so far but my daughter and neice are loving it...so its a must to get a few bottles plus I want to try her gel and the watermelon body butter.

Her price increase isn't enough to stop me from repurchasing. And at least she's upfront about it. Plus I love that gel too much to care lol.

I used the old formula, but I believe that one had a lot of oils too, so probably. I usually like gels that have more water and aloe vera. Try it - I could definitely put up with it, but it wasn't a rebuy for me.

Im not sure what exactly was the formula change when I looked into it except that she now infuses the herbs into the water before adding her other ingredients vs. adding the herbs as a separate step. She did add JBCO recently which makes the gel a tad more slippy IMO. I think that if she did anything, it may be a change in the carbomer bc the consistency of the gel has thickened up. The effectiveness for me hasnt changed though. I always use a LI with it, and it works best with creamier/buttery LI's. The crunch for me comes when I'm too liberal with it when the consistency was thinner. Now that it's not I dont have that issue.

Recently I see she's removed the honey which I can only imagine makes it even more different than the original .

I haven't tried her newest stuff and I'd really like too, but I can't get with the formula changes. Don't get me hooked on something and then change the formula.
